We’re so used to seeing Tom Cruise hanging off the back of aeroplanes, standing on top of speeding trains or you know, casually hanging out in space, that when he does something regular some people can’t quite get their heads around it.
Case in point: when the Hollywood star went to watch a baseball game at the weekend.
The Mission Impossible actor was spotted in the crowd at Oracle Park in San Francisco, where the Giants took on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the second game of the National League Division Series.
Sat next to him was his 26-year-old son Connor.
The acting legend has been the subject of many deep fake videos in recent years. There is even a dedicated TikTok account, DeepTomCruise, which has nearly three million followers and regularly posts videos of what appears to be the Top Gun star.
So it didn’t take long for people to joke that this was another deep fake after photos and videos of him (and it definitely was him) in the crowd hit social media...
Others questioned whether it was an imposter...
The home team ended up losing to the Dodgers, and guess who got the blame for that?
The man can’t win. Maybe stick to being an action star, Tom.

That deep fake of Tom Cruise at Oracle Park is almost as convincing as the cardboard cutout of Mary Hart at Dodger Stadium.

Gonna spend the rest of tonight and all of tomorrow wondering if some random dude convinced the Giants he was Tom Cruise.

Alright it’s Tom Cruise. He’s talking to Danny Glover, unless he has Glover fooled as well. pic.twitter.com/wmZvxALuab

It shoulda been 3-0 Giants, I honestly think they only lost because Tom Cruise was at the park.

If it wasn't for Tom Cruise Giants would have swept the Dodgers

What with Tom Cruise? Give me a break. Nearly every Giants fan knows and admit we got handled, and it had nothing to do with Tom Cruise.

The Giants literally blamed Tom Cruise for their Game 2 loss. https://t.co/0NLe8sal7L
